Laguna Beach Rugby Victorious In SoCal High School Championship

LAGUNA BEACH, CA — The hardworking young men and coaches behind Laguna Beach rugby just clinched a sizable win, after the team won the Southern California Youth Rugby High School 7s Championship.

The championship was awarded on Saturday, March 4, after the team beat out Valley Christian, International School of LA and Francis Parker before meeting St. Anthony in the final game at JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano.

During the regular season, Laguna Beach had lost twice to St. Anthony — but thanks to the hard work and training the boys have been putting in all season, Laguna Beach took the win in the final game 29 points to 5.

"Saturday, March 4 will be remembered in history as the day Laguna Beach Rugby lifted the Cup as first-time Champions in the 2023 season," a Laguna Beach Rugby news release said. "Coaches, parents and players from all the teams that made this event witnessed and applauded Laguna Beach for what can only be described as 'the perfect game.'"

The championship cup was won thanks to the tireless efforts of the young men on the field, as well as their coaches, Laguna Beach High School Coach Bobby Impson and Capt. Euan Latimer.

Congratulations, Laguna Beach Rugby!
